Guber Poll: Vote APC, PDP Chieftain Urges Cross River Indigenes by Nellizzy(m): 9:18am On Apr 10, 2015 |
A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Cross River State, Mr Patrick Okomiso, has called on the electorate to vote for the All Progressives Congress (PDP) in the governorship election on Saturday. According to Okomiso, Cross River indigenes should vote the APC that has won the election at the federal level as Governor Liyel Imoke had canvassed that the state would not be in an opposition party. Okomiso emphasised that since the governor had been propagating the campaign of the state not to be in an opposition party while campaigning for the PDP governorship candidate, Prof Ben Ayade, said the supporters of the governor and the PDP candidate in the election should vote APC for the party not to be in opposition. Okomiso, who contested for the governorship of the state in 2012 on the platform of the All Nigeria Peoples Party before returning to the PDP, emphasised that this point must not be lost on the state. His words: “General Muhammadu Buhari has won and Cross River State cannot afford to be in opposition. It would be a difficult thing. So let Cross River State vote enmasse for APC governorship candidate so all of us can be in the mainstream. Moreover, we had a governor who told us that we cannot afford to be in opposition. I remember when we were in Ogoja, when he presented Ben Ayade, he said Cross River cannot afford to be in opposition, which means he knew what the state was up to if we were in opposition. So it is better we take the governor’s advice, which he advised at that time for us to vote for APC and let all of us return to APC. “After all Cross River State was an ANPP state. It had never been PDP. Not until Donald Duke came in and brought in PDP. So let us return to ANPP. ANPP today is APC. So ANPP is our route. So let the whole state return and see how we can deal with our problems. “It would be unfortunate for us to be in opposition, because the way the state is now, it is dead and if it dies a second death, it would be permanent. The first death is that there is nothing working in the state. Let us call a spade a spade. Look at the civil servants in the state. They all wear hungry faces. We are a tourism state but we are not attracting enough traffic here. The state is dying. Let the state be revived. Children can have free education. They can have free uniform and be served meals in school. It is possible with somebody with ideas. “This is one of the reasons I call on General Buhari to fight corruption to the highest level. Let all the monies stolen be returned. We don’t need to build prison yards. You can be imprisoned in your house. You are only free to come out when you refund all the monies that you have stolen. The monies are not in heaven. They are here on earth. “The state has a serious problem and that problem is that we need to eradicate poverty from the state. The poverty level in the state is too high. Look at the roads. You cannot even travel from Calabar to Ogoja. “Can one really show the mark of the PDP in Cross River State. Is it because one went to the House of Reps or Senate and buys a new car, builds a new house, travels abroad, does that that translate to the fact that the state is prosperous? They are more house girls and house boys from Cross River than in any other state of the federation. Nothing is working. “So let Cross River State come out enmasse and support APC and we can see what progress is brought to the state. We were sleeping till our oil wells were taken away. We had a presidential campaign and people were saying CARRY GO meanwhile we do not have roads in the state and nobody even said we needed anything.” http://newtelegraphonline.com/guber-poll-vote-apc-pdp-chieftain-urges-cross-river-indigenes/ |
